This reminds me of the unironic ancap comic about three guys being stuck on an island. The communist guy screeches because he’s unable to do anything. The two capitalist guys trade a coconut with each other back and forth until they make enough money to…. Build a boat? And leave sail off the island.
no the communist builds a boat or shelter or w/e, the capitalists accumulate BJs by trading coconuts, the communist uses the protein from all the loads to build an entire civilization, the capitalists take credit for it, then the communist eats the puny capitalist and invents space travel.
Reminds me of that joke where two economists go walking in the woods, they see dog shit, one tells the other he will pay him $100 to eat the dog shit, which he does. Then they see more dog shit, the other tells the first one he will pay him $100 to eat the dog shit, which he does. Then one says “wait, we both just ate dog shit, I gave you $100, you gave me $100. We just ate dog shit for nothing?” Then the other says “we did something though. We increased the GDP of our country by $200.”
Where did the sail even come from? Like was it an actual sail? Please it tell me it was, because all it does is confirm anarcho-capitalists are completely delusional to the point their entire ideology revolves around magical thinking.
At least we have centuries of theory to pull from.
